Just a random question. Have any of yall experienced hemorrhoids. If so, how did you guys get around wearing thongs. I heard thongs exacerbat hemorrhoids. I do have a mild case of it so stopped wearing them for now. I also bought some sized up ones but I prefer the fit of my other ones better.

If you are engaging in moderate to intense activities, where there is a lot of movement, I could see a thong creating more issues if you have hemorrhoids.

Since it is best to apply cream to help with hemorrhoids I would recommend switching to bikinis for a few days to a week until the situation returns to normal

This is exactly what I do if I have issues.

I have some gaff thongs that have a wider back strap, almost a Brazil cut. Looks better and more comfortable at the Beach.

I had hemorrhoids when I was 50lbs (22.2kgs) heavier. When I was overweight, I had frequent bowel movements and I think that caused a lot of strain in the anal region. I had them removed about four years ago.

I wore thongs back when I was overweight, and I still wear thongs now. I don't have any hemorrhoids today because I have increased my fiber intake and I have fewer bowel movements. Hemorrhoids form if you strain too much, so I suggest increasing your fiber intake.

I stuggle with Hemmroids periodically. It does cause discomfort with thongs and during particularly bad flare ups I change to bikinis. If it’s not too uncomfortable I can get by with wearing thongs that are slightly larger and less snug.
